Five Member Committee Will Study Road Situation, Make Report and Recommendations A committee of five citizens, four men and one woman was appointed Saturday night to study ways and means of im proving the road set-up within the county and to submit the findings to another mass meet ing when the study is complet ed. That was the result of sev eral hours of discussion by a representative group of citizens assembled at the court house Saturday evening in response to an invitation from a farmers committee interested in looking into the possibility of obtaining early relief from the county road situation. All three members of the county court were present, as well as P. W. Mahoney, county attorney, who answered many points of law requested by var ious members of the assembl age. All sections of the county were represented, one car of men coming from Boardman. One proposal which seemed to have the backing of most of the of which could be remedied if all people giving In their assess ments were less inclined to pro tect their personal interests that is, each fellow showing a willingness to do his share. Some questioning about rais ing the budget brought explana tions from Barratt, Judge Bert Johnson and Mr. Mahoney. It was pointed out that the budget cannot be raised more than six percent above the highest of the three preceding years, and that funds in excess of the six per cent limitation must be voted by special ballot. If it is the wish of the people of the county to raise the general levy they must vote an amount in excess of the six percent limitation -each year for three successive years and this automatically raises the general levy. With the possibility of raising funds at an early date through a bond issue appearing imprac tical and several other uncer tainties confronting them, the delegation was that of placing farmers decided to give the mat- a measure on the ballot at the tor thorough study before tak special election October 7 seek ing approval of a road bond is sue. It developed that time was the important factor and that while there is time to prepare petitions and the filing, there would not be time for a survey to be made to determine which roads would benefit from the bonds or the amounts needed for the several roads thus chosen. A good bit of time was devot ed to discussion of the tax set up. Much of this was led by Garnet Barratt who spoke from experience as a member of the county court and as a private citizen. Barratt said the tax set up needs a lot of fixing, much ing definite action. The question of forming the county into spe cial road districts is to be given thoughtful consideration. There is some doubt about legal sanc tion, but if it can be done a move will be made to district the county. People of each section wanted the roads in their particular dis trict fixed up. Some of them in quired of Judge Johnson when they could expect equipment to work in their neighborhoods. The answer was, he didn't know. Appointed on the special com mittee were J G. Barratt, chair man; Henry Baker, George Peck, Mrs. Blaine Chapel and Willard A. Baker of Boardman. News Items of Interest Around Town . . . .
